﻿Zechariah.
Chapter 4.
The angel who was speaking with me returned and woke me, as someone is awakened from sleep. 
He asked me, “What do you see?” I said, “I see a lampstand entirely of gold, with its bowl on top and seven lamps on it, with seven pipes for each of the lamps on top. 
There are two olive trees beside it, one to the right of the bowl and one to its left.” 
I asked the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?” 
The angel who was speaking with me answered, “Do you not know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.” 
Then he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might or by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts. 
Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain. He will bring out the top stone amid shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’” 
Then the word of the LORD came to me: 
“The hands of Zerubbabel laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will finish it. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. 
For who has despised the day of small things? These seven will rejoice when they see the plumb stone in Zerubbabel’s hand. They are the eyes of the LORD, ranging throughout the earth.” 
Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees to the right and left of the lampstand?” 
I asked him a second time, “What are the two olive branches beside the two golden spouts that pour the golden oil out of them?” 
He said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.” 
Then he said, “These are the two sons of oil who stand beside the Lord of all the earth.”
